The will to act collectively isn't something container lines are known for — just look at the rates and scarcity of profits. Yet in 2012, and indeed for the past five years, the carriers have remained in lockstep when it comes to one key area of their operations: slow-steaming their ships.
Initiated in 2007, carriers are operating ships at less than 20 knots, and few observers don't believe them when they say — as they did repeatedly in 2012 — "slow-steaming is here to stay."

Twelfth Night
by William Shakespeare
Publisher Bantam Classics
Language English
Edition Softcover
› Find signed collectible books: 'Twelfth Night'
One of Shakespeare's finest comedies, Twelfth Night was written at the same time as Hamlet and Troilus and Cressida, and whilst it shares their fascination with sex, death and confused identities, its exuberant comedy and linguistic inventiveness rises above the introspection of these plays. Viola and her twin brother Sebastian are separated in a storm, which washes them both up at different points on the shores of Illyria. Believing each other to be dead, both attempt to survive by using their wits. Viola cross-dresses and enters the service of the lovesick Orsino, in love with Olivia, an heiress in mourning for the loss of her brother. Orsino's saucy young page Cesario (Viola) soon falls in love with "his" master, who tells "him", "all is semblative a woman's part". Unfortunately, whilst Viola falls in love with Orsino, Olivia falls in love with her alter ego, Cesario, whilst also being pursued at the same time by her pompous servant Malvolio. Olivia's house is also turned upside down by the antics of her drunken uncle, Sir Toby Belch, and the whole crazy situation reaches boiling point when Sebastian reappears.
Despite the madcap plot, Twelfth Night remains one of Shakespeare's most complex and inventive comedies, fascinated with questions of cross-dressing, gender confusion, language and inversion, as well as retaining a darker edge to some of its laughter. --Jerry Brotton [via]

I don't know about you, but it seems that I am meeting more and more adoptive parents lately. These very caring and devoted people each have a unique story to tell that give anyone with or are thinking about having children a wonderful new perspective on traditional ideas of becoming a mom or a dad.
Whether it's the colleague who helped the birth mother through her pregnancy and met their son on the night he was born, or the middle-aged divorcee who went all the way to China to bring home the child she was never able to have with her husband, I find my life is enriched from knowing them and sharing in their lives. Are you an adoptive parent? If so, I would love to hear the story of your journey to parenthood.
I'm adopted! My parents adopted me when I was 27 months old. I am so grateful to them for taking a chance on a toddler. I know tons of people who have adopted. I have at least two neighbors who have adopted, several friends who have or are adopted, and two adopted nephews. I hope to adopt someday too.
My partner and I have adoped a baby boy. My partner knew the birth mom, so we were able to be there through the pregnancy. He's 7 weeks old now, and as adorable as ever!
My husband and I tried for several years to have children of our own. And in December of 2008 we were presented with the opportunity to adopt twin girls that were to be born in April. We gladly accepted that opportunity as a blessing from God. Our daughters were born on March 5, 2008 and we got to meet them the next day. We are in the process of completing the adoption.
Doubleblessings- Were you seeking an adoption or did it find you? I know many people who had thought about adoption, but never really looked into it. Then the opportunity just presented itself to them.
In a round about way this adoption found us...we found out about the birthmom through a friend of a friend. We stopped our fertility treatments in November 2008 and was just going to get through the holidays and then start our paperwork and adoption stuff in January. However, when we were presented with this adoption it was around the first of December. So, because we so desperately wanted children we decided to go with this one....only after much prayer and talking to our family. Everyone is excited about the babies and now we are just ready for everyone to meet them...the girls were born in Phoenix and we are from Alabama. So we have been here for going on 7 weeks now. Hoping to go home this week. I would advise anyone that is thinking about adoption to discuss it with their family and to have family support behind them, because without ours we would be out here with out anything. You also have to love the adopted children just the same as your own. These are our first two children and we love them very much....
Ganns, how wonderful to have been involved throughout the pregnancy. That must add a whole new dynamic to the experience of being new parents. Do you feel that being that involved in the pregnancy has helped create a special bond?
I know my husband felt very connected to our daughter when I was carrying her, especially when she would kick at him in bed through my stomach.
a great idea to start a topic here but i have to say that your view of "who adopts" is very narrow. i am the BIO mom of two kids and the adoptive mom of two more. i am NOT a middle-aged divorce or unable to conceive. surprise! my husband and i CHOOSE to adopt. from foreign countries, nonetheless. adoption is NOT a last choice, only to be considered after all other options have been exhausted. it needs to stop being portrayed as such! for us, and MANY other wonderful people, it is the first choice. we are the blessed ones and the children are our blessings.
You are right kmsmom24. Like writemommy said, each person has their own unique story about how adoption has changed their life. Thanks for sharing your story!
I'm sorry if it seemed like I was portraying adoptive parents that way. That
was certainly not my intention. What I wrote there were just a few examples of
people I've known who've adopted, and they've been pretty varied. From other
moms at daycare to colleagues at work, everyone has a unique story to tell on
this subject, even those from my own family.
Three of my cousins were adopted by the same mother, who had adopted quite a
few of the foster children she and her husband cared for over the years. When I
met my husband, his family was fostering a baby. With three grown, adult
children already, my in-laws were seriously considering her -- something they'd
had to resist over the years because of the number of foster babies they'd cared
for. But they were finally in a place where they could welcome another child
into the family.
I don't think that anyone here on the boards meant to
imply that only a certain "type" of person adopts, but rather want to celebrate
those who do or have been. It's not a topic that's discussed often enough in
parenting circles, which is why I wanted to talk about it.
I am in the process of adopting my nephew. My sister does not what to keep him and we can not have any more. I have ason thaT IS 4 years old and he is lonely. I fill that this has been a blessing. I have talked to her with the intent to make her realize that the right thing to do is to keep him. However, she refuses to have anything to do with him. So, I will gladly, joyfully keep him.
Those of you who choose to adopt children are truly great people. These stories are all heart warming and I hope others read these posts and become inspired to adopt children because there are so many chilcdren out there from all walks of life who need loving parents.
My husband and I *hope* to adopt. We have recently become trained foster parents and now have a little one in our care. Our long term goal is to adopt, but in the meantime, we wanted to help kids in need in our state as best we could!
Congratulations! Best of luck as Foster Parents.
That's such a great story. You don't hear about fostering as much as other types of family situations. My in-laws fostered for nearly 30 years and those children were so loved in their home. Even now, they're still in touch with some of the kids they fostered. This is a truly rewarding experience, and I wish you the best of luck with your adoption goals.

Bio: Porn Star Cicciolina is one of the most famous faces in European hardcore, and it's not because of her fiery on-screen antics. It's her off-screen activities that have made her a household name throughout the Continent and the world. Cicciolina's a platinum-blonde waif of a starlet with alabaster skin, an extremely thin and rangy look and a pair of ridiculously full and dark eyebrows. Her chosen name translates from the Italian as 'the little, chubby, cuddly one,' although chubby is not a word you would ever use to describe her.
Cicciolina was born on November 26, 1951 in Budapest, Hungary. She moved to Italy in 1976 and within a few years has slithered her way into the world of Italian softcore flicks like 'Inhibition.' Cicciolina's lack of acting ability kept her from attaining much success in the softcore realm, so Cicciolina worked her way into the Italian porno scene through a string of fiery and energetic performances. It wasn't until Cicciolina decided to run for Italian office that she really became a star, though.
Running under the slogan 'Make Love, Not War,' Cicciolina ran a successful 1987 campaign to become a member of the Chamber of Deputies of the Italian Parliament. She only served one term, but her stint as the 'porn star-turned-politician' was enough to grab headlines worldwide. That's when her sexvids really started selling like hotcakes. Some of Cicciolina's best work can be found in 1988's 'Rise of the Roman Empress,' in which she sizzles her way through a threeway with Amber Lynn and John Holmes. Cicciolina also shines in 1991's 'Passionate Lovers,' taking part in a lusty lesbian romp as well as two frantic group sequences. Cicciolina eased her way out of the porn scene in the early 90's, but continues to be one of the most talked-about starlets on either side of the Atlantic.

April Fools - A prank pulled on Stanley
posted at 4/1/2013 7:03 PM EDT
Stanley, you're too gullible. Did you REALLY think that peter chiarelli had a yahoo email address? c'mon man....
The following is an e-mail thread between me, and Stanley. I have redacted his last name, which he did use. Is this cruel? perhaps. Childish? definitely. Hilarious? you betcha.
my first e-mail to stanley. this is after he posted the wrong e-mail address, and then posted the right one.
Chiarelli's response after finding out that he was going to forward the e-mails to other posters :
Stanley's response:
I can't make this stuff up. He actually sent this to who he thought was Peter Chiarelli. Yes, I am awful, so I provided some light for the end of the tunnel:
his response, which is really just incredible:
Now stop treating me like a child and lets get together after the NON trade. Deadline and we will discuss into details what has to be done in the next few months with this teamRICHARD
ohhhhh Stanley. Do us all a favor and go back to the entertaining poster you used to be. Go crazy about a player, sure, but don't start 2 threads a day about it.

Cleary bostonfan191646 is Chiarelli, and now he's just backpeddling so Stanley doesn't get him fired by Jacobs. It all adds up. Einhorn = Finkle. And 191646 is Morse code for Chiarelli.
Stick it to him Stanley. If he wasn't putzing around on this board instead of blowing the Pens away with his first offer, we'd have Iginla by now.

Stanley should never post his real email here and many of us have told him that, over and over.
But, other posters also shouldn't take advantage of that and violate the trust of a very...you know...person.
I actually thought about Stanley when Khduo made that sensational save on Ennis, and in light of him not starting a new thread about it, I want to offer him congratulations for having a such a keen scouting eye.

O'Sullivan Moves to the Left
Sean O'Sullivan (KCA), right-handed pitcher, found a way to fool left-handed batters this season. In 2010 they hit .247 against him with some power, slugging .428. This season, lefties managed just a .177 BA against Sean, with a .226 slugging percentage, as a home run is the only extra base hit they collected.
What is O'Sullivan doing differently? One thing that stands out is his increased walk rate against lefties. While the BA against dropped 70 points, the OBP against him only dropped 16 points. Sean traded walks for extra base hits. While a high walk rate isn't a good idea overall, for Sean so far, discretion is the better part of valor.
O'Sullivan also changed the movement of his pitches. He throws a hard sinker and a slider (although the sinker doesn't seem to sink that much). The following chart shows the movement of those two pitches against left-handed batters:
The hard sinker (the large red area above the horizontal line) tended to move away from lefties. The slider moved down and in. In 2011, the movement of both pitches shifted in:
So a pitch that used to tail away from lefties now tails in on them. The slider moves farther in on them than before. So a batter used to reaching for one of these pitches is now going to find the ball hit off the handle instead of the sweet spot. It strikes me that this improvement might not last. Once LHB get used to this movement, they should be able to hit it as well as last season. Eventually, O'Sullivan may want to mix in both sinkers, so batters can't prepare for one or the other.

One Last Vespa Ride in the Snow
I swear it was 80 degrees last week. This morning it's snowing. I feel as if I'm living in one of those science fiction disaster movies where the world is about to end in some cataclysmic natural conflagration. Despite my imaginings I took the opportunity for one last ride in the snow. A few moments is all it takes to douse the little Canon G9 camera with liquid ice while making this picture.
Wet, heavy snow, falling at the freezing mark is more a problem of vision than of traction. Large globs of icy slush gather on everything while at the same time fog becomes almost impossible to remove from the inside of the visor. Still, it was one last time in the snow. Call me crazy but I'm drawn to it. And now I expect warmer weather ahead...

Not snowing here, but temperatures were back in the 30's this morning. One of the reasons I love my DOT approved snowmobile helmet is for the dual lens visor--no fog.
I agree the weather has been very strange indeed. Hopefully, this is your last snow ride of the season.

Hi Steve; Rain-X to treat both inside and outside of the visor. Really helps with the fog, above or below freezing.
here in CA (Central Alabama) we had no snow this winter, but did have some 20s at night. I need to move farther south...

Steve: Southern Ontario also had snow; given the winter this year has been very dry, the fields appreciated both the snow and the rains that followed. We really need another week of gentle rains to bring the dry soil to moist levels.
As to your little G9, sold mine along with my Nikon D90. Purchased a Pentax K-R which is lighter in weight and just as capable.

Dear Scooter In The Sticks (Steve:
I wouldn't even think of riding in a falling snow, howsoever light. I'd be worried about putting my foot down on ice, or dropping the bike on a frozen glazed-over corner.
Now, regarding the fog in your helmet. Nolan helmets was one of the early pioneers in developing a fog-free, flip-face helmet that I came to love. And it saved my head in a crash once too.
Nice pictures...

Kim has a Nolan helment. Very nice. I couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of money. You rich BMW riders always have the best stuff.

Love your first photo. Not sure if we are done with our snow yet here in Colorado. Our roads are too dangerous when it snows here. I just got a new helmet, Scorpion, that swears it won't fog up. Hasn't got cold enough to see if that is true. I do love that helmet, though.

Farther south - I have a cousin in Orange Beach, on the Alabama gulf coast, less than 200 miles south, but far enough to make a difference; being "buffered" by the Gulf, it very rarely drops to freezing, and rarely gets above 85. Very nice.

Having watched his current side beat his former employers 2-0 in the Guinness International Champions Cup, Jose Mourinho reflected on a job well done.
Oscar gave us the lead early in the game with a magnificent strike, before Eden Hazard scored from the penalty spot to make it 2-0 following a controversial award.
Perhaps most significantly, the Blues boss was able to give all six players who competed at the Confederations Cup and only returned to training earlier this week minutes on the pitch, with Oscar and Juan Mata completing one half each.
We will now face AC Milan in New Jersey on Sunday with a place in the final of the competition at stake.
On winning all four pre-season matches thus far
'We don't have 12 points, we have zero points and the match we have to win is against Hull City,' he said. 'But even in friendlies it's better to win than lose. To be fair, the teams we played against in Asia weren't the highest quality, we finally played against a good team and it was important for me to see the reaction. The first half was very good for both teams, they probably started a bit better than us but it was good.
'The red card (shown to Hugo Campagnaro) changed the game for Inter because they were playing against 11, and it wasn't good for us because we were playing against 10, so after the red card the game wasn't very good.'
On the performance of Marco van Ginkel
'What's important is the evolution of the team and to see the way some of the boys played, especially Van Ginkel, who I put in from the start in a match of this dimension.
'It was a pity [Kevin] De Bruyne and [Andre] Schurrle couldn't play because it would have been a good experience, but I was very happy with the result.'
On the on-pitch relationship between Oscar and Eden Hazard
'Oscar has been with us for five days and Eden is working since the beginning. We've worked on movement, to have in our pockets to help us in difficult situations. The players are working hard, and it's fantastic for me to see them try to do what we have been doing in training during matches.'
On Sunday's game against AC Milan
'We now play against AC Milan in New York, where there is a big Italian community. I'm sure there will be a lot of their fans in the stadium so it will be good.'

Hi, have a couple of questions:
I just bought a new iphone this morning in Las Vegas....so, I'm assuming it's 1.1.4....
My concern is this: I'm already an AT&T customer, but I'm not under contract....and I dont want to do a new contract....
I want to use Ziphone for my phone, but I don't know if I have to UNLOCK, or do I only need to jailbreak/activate, since I already have an AT&T SIM chip??
(Will ziphone work just fine for this new OTB 1.1.4? Any issues I need to know about?)
Also, in order to use the internet when i have no wi-fi connection, I'll have to add a data plan, correct? What are the EDGE settings for AT&T?
And, lastly, since I'll be using my old AT&T SIM chip, will the Visual Voicemail feature still work, or is that only with the Iphone plan?

Named the Rose Bowl's Defensive Player of the Game in Oregon's 45-38 win over Wisconsin, Alonso racked up 5 tackles, 1.5 sacks and 1 interception. He played in 12 games in each of the last two seasons for Oregon after missing all of 2010 while serving a suspension for a DUI while also rehabbing a knee injury. He also missed Oregon's first game in 2011 after being arrested during the offseason on charges of burglary, trespassing and criminal mischief. Alonso recorded 81 tackles, 14 of those for a loss, along with 4 interceptions and 1 sack in 2012. He was in on 2.5 sacks for Oregon in 2011.

True Blood Exclusive: Rutina Wesley on Tara's Season Four Journeyby Matt Richenthal at .
Tara Thornton will be "taken on a journey she never dreamed possible" on season four of True Blood.
So Rutina Wesley told me in an exclusive interview this week, a statement that becomes even more intriguing when fans consider this juicy series spoiler.
What else can we look forward to from Tara? Will her luck in the love department change? The actress delved into these topics and more in a revealing Q&A...
Let's go back before we go forward. Talk about your scenes with Franklin Mott. What kind of toll did they take emotionally?
These scenes were very emotionally challenging, but that's the kind of work I like to do as an actor. I like to be challenged mentally and physically. Working on True Blood has given me both of those things and it has been a dream getting to play this role because they constantly keep my juices pumping as an actor and I have to ultimately dig deeper each season.
Working with James Frain was amazing because he is so good at his craft that I had to be on my toes and I was challenged by him in the way that every actor wants to be challenged. We had to make light of some of the situations in order to keep our own sanity; otherwise it could drive you crazy, not allowing yourself to laugh at the ridiculousness of being tied to a toilet with flowers duct taped to your hands.What is in store for Tara on season four?
We will see Tara in a whole new light. She's stronger, fiercer, and has learned how to love herself. She's calmed down a bit and we will find out what she's been up to. But eventually she will be swept back up into the world of vampires and taken on a journey she never even dreamed possible.
Will Tara ever find true love?
That is the million dollar question. We shall see if she is ready or not.
Talk about working with Anna Paquin.
Anna is my girl. She has been lovely to work with. She is very generous as a scene partner and she has my back. I enjoy all our moments together because we actually get along really well on and off set and it makes work so much easier and our connection on-screen that much stronger.
Do you get made fun of on set for portraying one of the only non-supernatural characters?
Nope. I actually enjoy being human. The human reactions to this crazy world is where all the drama lies and that makes for good TV.
How familiar are you with the books?
I read the first two books - but because they changed my character so much [on the show], I didn't feel the need to carry on. I also like to be surprised with what they have in store for my character. My mom. however, has read them all and she loves them.
Wesley and the rest of the True Blood crew return with new episodes on June 26. Watch the first eight minutes of the premiere NOW!

I love Tara's character and you really do see a change in her this season. I think they should somehow bring back Franklin ... even though he got blown to bits -- maybe through a witch's spell or something, he could return ... or time could be turned back for him to escape the gunshot, etc. I would like to see him come back, go under some type of transformation which would make him less psycho, but still be deeply in love with Tara, and eventually win her heart the proper way! They had such great chemistry together, it was insane. It was a great story line that definitely should be continued.

Jets just hired John Idzik as their GM, so it looks like Brian Gaine is staying in Miami.
Jets just hired John Idzik as their GM, so it looks like Brian Gaine is staying in Miami.
can't wait for the fire Ross crowd to bitch and moan about another parcell's person staying on the team.
Wouldn't have bothered me if he went, a shake up might have done some good. I think most just wanted him to stay to step into the gm position when the inevitable finally happens anyway.
I'm glad to have Gaine and consistency. In this crucial draft year I'd hate to have lost him to the Jets. I wonder if he was interviewed in an attempt to gain info on our draft and player evaluations? Probably at least in part yes, but it would have been much worse I'm sure had they picked Gaine.
FYI, Idzik is a numbers guy. They brought him in to work on their horrific cap situation. The only thing that's better than the Jets being unable to hire a new coach because they are in cap hell and financially wed to "The Sanchize" because pursuing Manning hurt his feelings, is the fact that they didn't even replace the GM with a true talent evaluator. Heh, while Idzik is a decent cap guy, I don't really see anything that tells me they'll be trading in the clown car for a porsche anytime soon.

Oxford police Lt. L.G. Owens said the uncle of 35-year-old Brandon Dontye Deramus called police Sunday and said his nephew had a dog in his backyard that might be dead. Owens said an officer went to a house on the 400 block of West Oak Street Sunday morning.
The officer discovered the pit bull, covered in flies, in a cage behind the home, Owens said. The dog was extremely malnourished and its ribs were showing, the lieutenant said.
The dog was having trouble breathing, Owens said. Deramus' uncle took possession of the dog, he said.
Owens said today he was uncertain how long the dog was left in the cage or if it was still alive.
According to a police report, the charge against Deramus is considered a misdemeanor.
Deramus was released Thursday on a $2,000 bond from the Oxford City Jail. A court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 10.

Published on 28 March, The Poetry Review has undergone its first major redesign for a decade. The new look, developed by acclaimed designer and illustrator Liam Relph, promises to modernise and revitalise the magazine, and represents a continued commitment to the publishing of new and exciting work in contemporary poetry by the Poetry Society.
It features a cover illustration by Dutch Uncle's Shout and the reinstatement of 'The' before the title - a detail not seen since 1969. The size and shape of the magazine has also been updated, along with the introduction of a new font and logo. Editor Maurice Riordan explains: "Just a tad retro, and very 21st century, The Poetry Review now brings the reader the tactile familiar quality of a print magazine with an up-to-the-minute design".
Explore the full list of contents here.
For more information about the redesign, click here.
The Poetry Review is the Poetry Society's internationally acclaimed quarterly poetry magazine, published in March, June, September and December and sent to every full member of the Poetry Society. We welcome subscriptions to the magazine. The Poetry Review is also stocked at leading bookshops throughout the UK; to find your nearest outlet and buy copies, click here. Full details of how to submit your work to the magazine can be found here.
Edited by Maurice Riordan, the latest issue of Poetry Review includes poems by Liz Berry, Matthew Francis, Mir Mahfuz Ali, Kim Moore, Helen Mort, Susan Wicks and many more. Deryn Rees-Jones interviews Alice Oswald, David Harmer writes on poetry for children, Greta Stoddart goes walking with Simon Armitage, and Paul Farley and Tom Sleigh explore Seamus Heaney's idea of the "omphalos", the place that is central to a poet's imaginative world. We publish Anne Carson's Poetry Society Annual Lecture and John Hartley Williams writes from Berlin. There are reviews of Adcock, Agard, Bird, D'Aguiar, Graves, Morrissey, Queneau, Reid, selected pamphlets and more, plus a gallery section of drawings by Sylvia Plath. Full contents list and downloadable pdfs here. Listen to the podcast here.
What inspired some of the poems in this issue? Liz Berry and Matthew Francis offer a fascinating glimpse.

Post subject: So you want to be a Jedi?
So you feel you are strong with the Force and may be a Jedi? We can help the Jedi of Echo Bases Blumfruit Temple stand ready at your disposal with our program to get you accepted into the RL!
As a (former) costume judge and now someone who looks over the whole applicant queue, I see lots of applications that come across with different colors, parts missing, and just generally an inadequate amount of photos and information on the application in order for a judge to make a good decision to accept or not. This results in batting of emails or PMs back and forth like a tennis game to get the right shots or part suggestions, which delays your acceptance in the Legion and can result in some aggravation on everyones part.
The solution? The same one the Jedi came up with a Master/Padawan relationship. Though in this case, we will give you an accepted Jedi as the mentor who can guide you through the requirements of the costume and pretty much lay everything out you would need to get accepted quickly. Our Jedi have made at least one, often times more than one, costume and are familiar with the standards and what you need to put on your application to get accepted.
What do you do next? Post here well get someone (hopefully close geographically to where you are if its helpful and available) to contact you and get you started on your journey.
Once youre accepted, youll be able to join the ranks of the Temple and eventually take on your own Padawan.
Pick up your Lightsaber and fight the Sith it is your destiny.

I love this idea and have been following it since you started the thread
I finally have a short break from work and holidays, and actually want to pop in with my own Jedi dilemas lmao!
My informal Jedi began as a Quinlan Vos Halloween costume made from stuff I found around the house and local mall, lol, I had no idea the Rebel Legion existed back then so knew nothing of costume making or requirements or anything like that. When I did finally join, I used the base tunic, shoulder armor and obi then obtained proper boots, belt, pouches and food capsules. I created a "Quinlan type" character for my profile, since it isn't cannon to him but I still enjoyed the concept with the wig and face paint, and I always thought wearing a Jedi with my crew cut just looked boring
I've since obtained two Obi-Wan costumes, because I love his character and costumes and love wearing Jedi - problem is I can't grow a full beard because of work so I'll never really try to pass as a "face" character, but do enjoy wearing it at informal events (especially when I have my kids because it's easier to keep an eye on them).
So I'd like to throw my three costumes up and see what you guys think, and what I should do if anything to maybe make them a little better. Let me know the next step in this, if you want to hit one at a time, all in the same thread or seperate them up

Hey, man, not a problem! I've created a thread for you
where we can look at all your costumes and comments can be added. They're pretty far along, which is great, and look good on you. Hopefully with a few tweaks you're going to be rolling in some new costume submissions! I think we'll just open the floor up for any of the 'Masters' to comment there.

Good Evening!
Very excited to read this thread, as I love the idea of a Mentorship program where someone can pick-up this aspiring Knight in need of a Master...even more fitting that, at cons, my costume actually *is* yet that of a Padawan...
I have been working on a costume for many years now, but put it on hold for a little while. Now that I have been in the convention circuit for nearly a year (traveling sometimes as far north as Toronto!) My costume is Old Republic based, with traditional Jedi colors. I dressed as a Padawan at last weeks's C2E2 and, with the exception of needing a true lightsaber, some new boots and eventually a robe, I *thought* it looked pretty decent. I am all done putting together my screen accurate Battlestar Galactica costumes and will be improving this one a little bit every month. Here is a link to me with a Stormtrooper. I am the one on the far left.
Thanks for any info you can provide me with, everyone who I met at the conventions told me to get in touch with my local group. The idea of charity work and working with the Legion just really appealed to me.
May the Force be with you!

Hi and welcome! Its always great to connect with another fan. Youll find Echo Base full of people who want to get you up to par and trooping quickly there is always a need for more Jedi on the lines!
I think the BSG costumes are pretty cool as well, so that means youre also used to doing all that research that goes hand in hand with creating quality.
I tried to look up your image, but it said the content was unavailable. A second question for you, just to know who best to assign you to where in Echo do you live?

Thanks so much for the quick response! My apologies the link isn't working. I'll have to host it on a website so everyone can see it.
I'm obviously the only female wearing the Jedi clothes in both, lol! I DO own an undershirt but I'm not wearing it because it's just very large for my frame!
Basically it's fashioned after Qui-Gon's colors (light tunic/tabard/obi with dark brown pants / belt). I had a seamstress make it years ago, it seems they used a cotton blend--very comfortable and light. Still working on the boots, appropiate cloak and custom saber.
I live in Bergen CO, NJ; right outside of New York City. Also thanks for the battlestar compliment, I do indeed know the length and moxy it takes to get a costume right--and I can't wait to dive into the wealth of knowledge, ideas and experience this base has!

Lexington, Ky. - Central Michigan was unable to contain Kentucky's size in the second half Sunday afternoon as the No. 7/8 Wildcats ran away with a 96-74 victory in Memorial Coliseum.
Junior Crystal Bradford led the Chippewas (1-1) with 23 points, becoming the 22nd player in program history to join the 1,000-point club. Bradford hit the 1,000-point mark with a basket at the 13:59 mark of the second half.
The Chippewas were outrebounded 55-36 in the contest, including 26-15 on the offensive side, allowing the Wildcats (4-0) to score 16 points off second chances.
Despite the size discrepancy, the Chippewas kept the game within striking distance through the first 20 mintues and trailed by just nine at halftime, 46-37.
After senior Niki DiGuilio knocked down a jumper to even the game, 2-2, the Wildcats went on a 12-0 run over the next 4:20 to take a 14-2 lead. DiGuilio stopped the run with a corner three and the Chippewas were able to cut the deficit to eight, 24-16, on another triple by the senior sharp shooter at the 8:54 mark.
A bucket in the paint by Denesha Stallworth pushed the Wildcats' lead back to fourteen, 41-27, with 3:48 to play in the first half, but junior Jessica Green rained in a long triple and DiGuilio knocked down her third trey of the half to to pull CMU within nine at the half.
The Wildcats slowly but surely extended their lead in the second half, pushing their advantage to as much as 19 with 10:45 to play, 72-53.
CMU did not break however, using a 9-1 run to cut the lead to 73-62 with 8:32 to play. DiGuilio was fouled on a three and knocked down all three free throws to spark the run and junior Jas'Mine Bracey scored four of her eight points during the stretch.
Redshirt freshman Jewel Cotton scored six-straight points to keep the Chippewas within striking distance, but her layup with 5:53 to play that cut the lead to 12 was as close as the Maroon and Gold would get.
DiGuilio finished the day with 14 points on 3-of-6 shooting from deep, while Cotton finished with 12 points for her first career double-digit effort.
CMU shot just 60 percent (15-for-25) from the free throw line, while the Wildcats knocked down a 77.4 percent (24-for-31) clip.
The Chippewas are back in action Thursday, Nov. 21 when they travel to Marquette to take on the Golden Eagles at 8 p.m.

For 35 years she designed some of the most iconic Barbie dolls... Carol Spencer stopped by Good Day LA along with our legal analyst, Robin Sax to discuss the legacy of the famed young girls toys.
To celebrate her Anniversary as Barbie's fashion designer, Carol Spencer chooses her "Dream Dozen" from over 300 dolls and 5000 ensembles she created in more than 35 years of Livin' La Vida Barbie.
A graduate of Minneapolis College of Art & Design, Spencer was a sportswear designer when she put in an application with a Chicago recruiter and then went to Los Angeles to try her luck at Mattel headquarters. Which is how she got an interview appointment on the same day at the same time in two different cities. The rest is Barbie history.

Big Star Vintage Liv Stretch Jean 6 6
Great Detailed Big Stars!!!!!!! Love these new Big Stars!!!!!!! the detailed bling& stitching is perfect!!!!! i also love the regular pocket instead of the usual flap pocket. These are Super Comfy also!!!!!!!! i have to say that these big stars are the most comfortable pair of jeans i own.......and i was also able to go down a size due to the strecthy material of these. thats great... August 26, 2012
love the look Loved the fit and the look of the jeans. A bit disappointed in the overall quality. Only had them a couple weeks and lost one of the studs off the back pocket. Almost sent them back but found a way to fix it. April 17, 2014
Awesome fit! These jeans fit wonderfully. Had to get them hemmed and they did an awesome job, you can't even tell. Love the glitz on them too! March 17, 2014
Dissapointed This was my first and last pair of Big Star Vintage Jeans. They looked good online, but that was about it. I ordered a size down as the other reviews had spoken about the sizes running large,and even then I absolutely swam in them! In a Miss Me I wear a 26 (which is really snug),and when it came to the 25 in the Big Star Vintage, they were not a good fit at all even after a few washes. There is NO WAY they are true to size. Honestly, they would stay "snug" for about 20-30 minutes, then get so saggy they would be hanging off of you. The material in this particular style catches and snags very easy. I really have nothing positive to say about these jeans, It was a waste of $120. My best advice would be to not ever consider these, go with a Miss Me or Rock Revival. I am overall disappointed in the quality and craftsmanship of these jeans, I expected better especially for the price and brand name. February 1, 2014
Love Big Star Vintage Liv This is my third pair of Big Star Vintage Liv jeans. Just like my other two pairs, these fit perfectly, and are so comfortable.I am 5'2" and 110lbs with an athletic build, and the BSV Liv fit my build perfectly. I'm sure this will not be my last pair of BSV Liv. January 8, 2014
love i suggest going down 1-2 sizes from what you normally do. they stretch to fit. Im a size 27 and did the 26's and probably could have done with a 25 to be honest. they are super comfortable and fit great around the waist. you can do squats all day and not feel like you're going to rip them. excellent everyday jean.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- It's amazing what can happen in six weeks. And the Bridal Beauties know all about that.
They started out with a goal to get fit in time for their big day and a month and half later they all have big news to share.
WFMY News 2's Tracey McCain and her crew of Bridal Beauties talked about their successes Wednesday on the Good Morning Show.
"I think they can all attest that I've pretty much put you through the ringer. Muscle body weight plyometrics is no joke. You don't have to buy a whole bunch of equipment," said April Hartsook, the bridal beauties personal trainer. "You carry around your own body weight and I make you move it 1,000 times. It'll get your heart rate going and you'll lose some weight," she added.
On the show you met brides-to-be Tanya and Tracy who are getting married in 2014 and Erika who is one of Tracey McCain's bridesmaids.
One by one, the group talked about the differences they're seeing.
"My arms seem more tone and I have more stamina during the workouts, so it's good that I can do the whole thing and not be out of breath at the end. My fiancee says he can see a difference in my arms and he can see more curves," said Tracy, who's getting married in July 2014.
"It's so exciting because I tried my dress on and it actually zips now so small victories," said an excited Tanya, who's wedding date is in August 2014. "What we're doing with April is working," she added.
"I see changes in my face and I'm excited about that. What I want is to look fabulous in that dress," said Erika who's been working out with the group for four weeks. "I'm so excited and this is going to help that."
And as for Tracey McCain, who is now a whole dress size smaller, her mom and fiance are not shying away from the compliments. "And I love it!!"
You can still join the group. Just email Tracey at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also head to the Bridal Beauties section on digtriad.com. You can watch the brides' progress, plus get workout and nutrition advice from April and a whole lot more!

Mastering the Honeywell Two-Button Digital Engine APU Controller
A critical APU troubleshooting tool
By John Casey
April 2000
On a number of aircraft, a Digital Electronic Control Unit controls the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). The Digital Electronic Control Unit is called several names; an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), an Electronic Control Box (ECB), or a Full Authority Digital Engine Controller (FADEC).
So what is the correct nomenclature? Different aircraft manufacturers refer to the Digital Electronic Controller by different names. Because the aircraft and APUs are different, the controlling parameters are also different. However, the digital controllers discussed here all use the same basic processor that provides safe, trouble-free control for the engine. For purposes of this article, the Digital Electronic Controller will be referred to as the ECU.
Please note, this article contains hints and suggestions. Always refer to the applicable maintenance manual before performing any maintenance tasks.
There are a number of APUs that are controlled by this style of ECU, to name a few: Citation X (36-150CX), Falcon 2000 (36-150F2M), the IAI Galaxy (36-150IAI), Fokker 70 (36-150R), Fokker 100 (36-150RR), Bombardier CL601RJ (36-150RJ), MD80 (36-280D) and MD90 (131-9D).
The ECU is generally mounted near the rear on the aircraft in an electrical bay. For example, the ECU for the Citation X is located in the forward section of the aft electrical bay. On the Falcon 2000, the ECU is located just forward of the tail-cone, adjacent to the flight recorders.
The ECU controls all normal aspects of the APU operation during acceleration, on-speed, and shutdown and provides emergency shutdown of the APU in the event that critical parameters are exceeded. In many installations, the ECU communicates the APU status to the aircraft where APU parameters, as well as fault data, can be viewed from the flight deck.
There are two buttons on the ECU that are typically labeled "FAULT" and "MAINT," or "SELECT" and "ENTER" (The nomenclature depends on the specific installation) and an eight character digital display. APU data, shutdown and fault histories are stored in a non-volatile memory comprised of five to seven multi-level matrixes.
Once energized, the ECU will perform a "Pre-Start" BITE (Built-in Test Equipment) check and then waits for further commands. If the operator is starting the APU, "START" is selected and the ECU will take over and control all aspects of the APU's operation. The ECU not only performs the pre-start BITE test that checks its own circuitry and the APU electrical components, but continues to monitor APU parameters and ECU circuits. If a fault is found, the ECU will log it into memory and if the fault is critical, the ECU will initiate a protective shutdown.
Faults and protective shutdowns are stored in five to seven histories: Present plus History-1, History-2, etc. This allows the technician to interrogate fault histories and shutdown logic.
One area of particular importance to the technician is that the ECU also references the maintenance manual error codes. This allows the technician to troubleshoot the faulted condition through an extensive array of coded maintenance actions, eliminating the "shotgun" approach to troubleshooting and reducing the replacement of operational hardware. It also saves time in troubleshooting — Why change the fuel control unit when the ECU tells you the APU fuel solenoid shutoff valve is faulted?
On the Analog ECUs (used with the 36-100 and some 36-150 APUs), a low oil pressure switch that fails to close on shutdown will allow the APU to accelerate to 95 percent, plus 10 seconds, before a protective shutdown is initiated. The digital ECU, on the other hand, will not allow the starter to be engaged; interrogation will exhibit LOP SW, the applicable error code and maintenance task.

Weldon will bring
anti-drug message By David Lias
Plain Talk By David Lias Plain Talk Gary Weldon is on a mission. The traveling entertainer hopes to make local youth aware of this key message if they are ever approached by someone who wants them to use drugs: ��?No! Go! Tell!� These words make up the cornerstone of this 45-minute show which has an anti-alcohol, anti-tobacco, anti-�other illegal� drugs message and is targeted to elementary age kids. Weldon, a puppeteer, ventriloquist and magician from Moorhead, IA, will bring his message here at 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 1. He will perform in the Coyote Twin Theatre, and all children are welcome to attend. The show encourages children to respect law officers but to also realize that they are kids��? friends. The show��?s cast of characters include the Dew It ��? Sayno Puppets. In addition to being entertaining, the puppets have a serious�? side to their part of the show. ��?The kids are taught what to do when a good friend tries to talk them into doing something they know is wrong,� Weldon said. ��?The puppets teach them how to stay out of trouble. ��?The puppets��? main message is that someday, your best friend may try to get you to do something that you know is wrong,� he said. ��?The kids are taught how to say no.� Weldon has been an entertainer for many year, performing shows that an designed for entire families to enjoy. A few years ago, he began presenting shows designed specifically for kids. He��?s appeared in elementary schools, libraries and auditoriums throughout the Midwest. The upcoming show here will be the fifth time he has performed in Vermillion. He hopes kids who are interested in attending the Aug. 1 show will bring along a friend. Weldon is thankful to the Coyote Twin Theatre for allowing him to use their facilities for the show. Also making the show possible, he said, are local sponsors: Ava Morgan, Broad- caster/Plain Talk�?
